Speech by Dr. Richard King about the African view on the physiology of blackness, and how people relate to the concept of being black. He speaks about melanin (skin pigment) in humans coming out of mythology, and the Africans hiding their science within mythology. He talks about the story of the Eye of Horus, the son of Osiris, giving the Africans the ability to see another’s inner essence. Lastly, he speaks about the black person’s skin color affecting the amount of sunlight is let in, thus creating weaker bones, and more dying off during the glacier age, proving that Africans are not just primitive people.
